CA

NORFOLK, VA • BREMERTON, WA • MOBILE, AL • MAYPORT, FL • SAN DIEGO, CA (ITB) which saw one of the company’s barges trans- formed into an articulated tug and barge (ATB) unit.

The project involved considerably more engineering and prefabrication work than VDC has undertaken in the past. The project saw corner units constructed for the barge in advance thanks to VDC’s investment in 3D-scanning.

Conversions to ATBs represent a growing market.

The ability to use 3D modelling to perform prefabri- cated work is becoming increasingly important. Later this year, Seaspan will perform work on Silver Seas

Expedition’s cruise ship Silver Seas Explorer. The ship will undergo the installation of a duct tail. With the pre-fabricated duct tail, the work is expected to take a mere three weeks. With its 3D modeling, VDC is able to perform work in advance of projects on its

CNC machine. VDC’s state-of-the-art CNC machine recently underwent a software upgrade, allowing it to cut pro? les and perform angled cuts on thicker plates. This has led to new training opportunities for one of VDC’s apprentices who is learning to master this machine. Having an ef? cient and upgraded CNC machine onsite, positions VDC as one of the most ef- ? cient yards in the region to perform steel fabrication work on repair projects.
